This sounds quite plausible. I've encountered a similar situation with
213.42.2.11 and 213.42.2.21, which are proxies used by a large ISP in
the United Arab Emirates. Some customer of that ISP apparently has a
proxy trojan on their computer, and so we keep getting open proxy
vandalism from those IPs, which can't be blocked without major
collateral damage.
I believe MediaWiki does have a list of "known" proxies that can be
trusted to supply a valid X-Forwarded-For header. As the whois records
for 213.216.199.14 seem legit, and the proxy appears to provide the
necessary headers, I personally see no reason not to add it to the list.
So what should I tell the guy?
